Ghana’s opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) now has 137 seats in Parliament after being declared winner of the controversial Sene West seat in the Bono East region on Thursday.

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) also has 137 seats but have a slim majority after the only independent MP-elect of Fomena opted to sit with them in the eighth parliament after the 7 December elections.

A court gave the green light for the final ballot box to be counted after it was snatched and retrieved by one Christian Nukpeta.

After counting the Tator Bator ballot box, the NDC candidate had 275 as against the NPP’s 148 taking the total figures to 13,231 votes for the NDC parliamentary candidate and 13,221 votes for the NPP candidate.
